Biomass Conversion – Green Chemistry & Innovative Processes
2016 funding opportunities
Priority 2: Sustainable management of natural resources
Priority 4: Eco- and biotechnologies to support the ecological transition
Priority 10: Fossil carbon substitutes for the energy and chemical sectors
Priority 20: An integrated approach to production systems
Priority 21: Biomass: from production to varied uses
NATIONAL RESEARCH STRATEGY (SNR) Priorities
PRIORITY 10 / Fossil carbon substitutes for the energy
and chemical sectors
The production of biofuels and applications derived from bio-based chemistry are in early stages of development. If these alternative development sectors are to become sustainable, we will have to break away from field-specific thinking and regard chemical processes and biofuels rather in terms of concurrent applications, the scales (local or otherwise) at which the resource and the products are used and manipulated, the conditions for obtaining them, possibilities of recycling, and the existence of other substitute materials.
NATIONAL RESEARCH STRATEGY (SNR) Priorities
PRIORITY 21 / Biomass: from production to varied uses
Optimising the total usage of biomass according to its many possible transformations (food, materials, energy) in particular by avoiding competition with usage for food purposes is an issue central to the development of the bioeconomy. It is necessary to develop an integrated vision based on novel tools for modelling complex systems. These tools enable society to evaluate actors' incentives, the functioning of ecosystems and interactions, and implement subsequent policy decisions. Research will also be focused on reassessing technological and biological processes in this framework, especially for processing food, overcoming technological and scientific obstacles related to bio-refining and, finally, developing concepts, methods and tools for use in synthetic biology.
NATIONAL RESEARCH STRATEGY (SNR) Priorities
1. Efficient resource management and adaptation to climate change
2. Clean, secure and efficient energy
3. Industrial renewal
4. Life, health and well-being
5. Food security and demographic challenges
6. Sustainable mobility and urban systems
7. Information and communication society
8. Innovative, inclusive and adaptive societies
9. Freedom and security of Europe, its citizens and its residents
